Motorcycle with two passengers

We call it unsafe.

(there's no particular term for motorcycles with passengers)

Thanks for your response.

But I have heard a term for it, I just cannot recall it.

Hi there

I would say it is riding on the pillion

Best regards, Dave

Thanks Dave. That was the word I was looking for.

Would you make several examples of yours used in everyday English?

Ex. I saw the motorcyle with two passengers in pillion. Is it right?

Thanks

Hi Hrsanei

I saw a motorcyle with two passengers riding pillion. (That means there are three people on the motorcycle.)

Thank you very much for your response.

Hi hrsanei

Although I recognised your word, I don't hear it very often in UK English

Here are a few examples..

- To carry a pillion passenger in the United States or United Kingdom, one must hold an appropriate license

- Riding pillion is something that many people do: sometimes once only, before they declare 'never again!'

- Many motorcycles allow you

Thanks Dave.

Which part of speech is pillion in the phrase,

Many women do not like to ride pillion.

thanks

Hi

It's an interesting word that starts off more than 500 years ago as a noun: a fur blanket that is placed on a horse so that a companion can ride behind the saddle

But in the sentence..

- Many women do not like to ride pillion.

.. it has become an adverb: it is modifying the verb "ride"

Best regards, Dave
